                          and No:  11-3062
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman, Circuit Judge, and
   Hickey, District Judge]
   Criminal case - Criminal law. District court's finding that police
   officer's testimony regarding defendants' traffic stop was credible was
   not clearly erroneous; officer had reasonable suspicion to believe that the
   defendants' vehicle did not display valid proof of registration as required
   by Iowa law; because the traffic stop did not violate the Fourth
   Amendment, the evidence seized from defendants' vehicle and defendant
   Tovar's statements were admissible.
